The Transporter, an action film directed by Louis Leterrier from a screenplay by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, is broadcast on TF1 on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at 9:10 PM.
A few days later, the feature will also join the catalogue of Netflix, offering a new chance to discover or rediscover the franchise's first installment led by Jason Statham.
Released in 2002, The Transporter follows Frank Martin, a former military man who has reinvented himself as the courier of delicate cargo under a strict code of conduct. When he decides to open one of the parcels he’s carrying, he’s unwittingly drawn into a human-trafficking operation that forces him to question the rules he lives by.
With its blend of car chases, choreographed fights and spectacular action, the film helped establish Jason Statham as a breakout action star. It also brings together Shu Qi, François Berléand and Matt Schulze, while the fight scenes are co-directed by Corey Yuen.
This double exposure, first on free-to-air TF1 and then on Netflix streaming, lets the film reach both casual viewers and subscribers of the platform. Fans of the saga can also watch Le Transporteur 2, scheduled on TF1 on Tuesday, July 28, 2026 at 9:10 p.m.
Nearly a quarter-century after its release, The Transporter remains a benchmark of 2000s action cinema and the film that cemented Jason Statham’s status as one of the genre’s top practitioners.
